After Christmas 2016 and I’m slowly catching up with all of the work in the shop,first up is further rust repair on the W112  300SE lang. under the booster it had rusted, not badly ,just ugly …

Years of spilled brake fluid has burnt off the paint ,leaving the steel bare and open to rust.

The rusted parts have been removed and inside the crossmember cleaned and rust treat .

New top piece has been cut out of Zinanneal 1mm  to match the existing panel,

because of the complex shapes ,the replacements have to made in cardboard first to get all the shapes organised first.
